Brian Winchester (Global Change) Academic AdvisingWoodburn Hall 221, (812) 855-6825 Area Studies LibrarianMarion Frank-Wilson IntroductionThe African Studies Program (AFRI) provides unique opportunities for students on the Indiana University Bloomington campus to study with distinguished faculty members to meet with visiting Africanists from all over the world, to learn African languages, and to use the outstanding facilities of the library, the Archives of Traditional Music, and the Fine Arts Museum. The program has both regional and subject-area concentrations in which faculty conduct research and offer courses. Regularly offered language courses include Arabic, Bambara, Swahili, Twi, and Zulu. Tutorial sections in many other African languages are provided as student need requires. Undergraduate students can earn a Certificate in African Studies by completing a flexible course of study designed to fit their individual interests and needs. A certificate is more rigorous than a minor, showing potential employers and graduate schools that students have completed a comprehensive course of study in an important world region. A Certificate in African Studies also complements a major in many departments and professional schools throughout the university. Recognition that a student has earned a certificate appears on the transcript along with the student's major department. The certificate is awarded upon graduation from Indiana University. Certificate in African StudiesPurposeThe Certificate in African Studies provides a background for careers in foreign service, government, business, law, the academic world, and other areas. Required CoursesThe certificate requires completion of 18 credit hours of Africa-related course work. In addition to L231 African Civilization and L232 Contemporary Africa, students must complete four elective courses, one of which must be at the 300 or 400 level. Elective courses may be selected from the dozens of Africa-related courses taught in the major disciplines and schools of the university. Students should have courses approved in advance by the associate director or director of African Studies. To be counted toward the certificate, elective courses must be taught by an African Studies Program faculty affiliate. Students must also enroll for two semesters in a language other than English that is spoken on the African continent or demonstrate proficiency in such a language. Completion of the language proficiency requirement does not count toward the required 18 credit hours needed for the certificate. Each semester the African Studies Program provides a list of courses that can be taken for certificate credit. Course DescriptionsL231 African Civilization (3 cr.)
